Hollow/Arrancar Introduction.

Looking to devour enough souls to tame your never ending hunger? Hoping to join the ranks of the Espada and dominate over Hueco Mundo in the great palace of Las Noches? Well, if so this race if for you!

After making your Application and becoming approved to begin posting as your Hollow character, you will be placed at 5,000 Reiatsu in the Desert of Hueco Mundo as a Weak Hollow. With endless miles of sand and a constant night sky above you, it almost seems like a romantic scene from a movie, except from the fact it is littered with other Hollows whom will stop at nothing to kill you. Once you reach 10,000 Reiatsu, you can choose to either keep the form you have to begin with, or transform into another form but that is your decision. At 15,000 you will undergo your first main transformation into the towering Menos Grande whom are also known as Gillian, and upon reaching this new rank you will be able to fire ordinary Cero at your opponents. It is then advised you move to the Forest of the Menos, where as the title suggests most Menos Grande go to devour stronger opponents. You will be a Menos for quite a while, as your next transformation is at 30,000 into an Adjuchas. By now your form is becoming more Human like and your size is becoming smaller though that doesn't make you any less powerful than before. At this rank you are free to roam as you like until 60,000 where you reach your final Hollow form, Vasto Lorde. The least common out of all the Hollow forms and by far the most deadly, Vasto Lorde are Human sized and shaped while keeping their Hollow characteristics, making you the deadliest weapon in Hueco Mundo.

Becoming an Arrancar:

Spoiler:

Of course, you can decide to choose a different path, where your Hollow character removes their mask and becomes an Arrancar, giving them access to the deadliest abilities and techniques available to this race. Upon reaching Gillian you can choose to take the randomized test at any time. If and when you become an Espada, your rank will be determined by the spots that are available and your strength. You can of course challenge another Espada for a higher spot if you are stronger then them.

When you decide to change will also effect the success rate of your randomizer test, as the higher your Reiatsu is when you take the test, the better the chances of success along with the better benefits:Menos Grande (15,000 Reiatsu) - 80% chance of success, may take the Instant Regeneration test. Receive a one time 2k boost for Arrancarization.Adjuchas - 50% chance of success, may take both Instant Regeneration and Segunda Etapa tests. Receive a one time 4k boost for Arrancarization.Vasto Lorde - 35% chance of success, may take both Instant Regeneration and Segunda Etapa tests. Receive a one time 7k boost for Arrancarization.

What does this mean? Well if you keep your Hollow as a Hollow for a longer length of time, it will have more success of removing its mask and will be more badass. Not only that, but Instant Regeneration will help you out in battle, and Segunda Etapa gives you an extra Reiatsu boost during combat with extra abilities available. Arrancar also have their own list of techniques which they may learn dependent on the rank of your Arrancar, making the tests well worth it!

Hollow Abilities:

Spoiler:

Cero – 15,000 ReiatsuMeaning: ZeroDescription: The practitioner fires a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target from their mouthes.

Pesquisa- 750 WCPesquisa functions similarly to sonar, through a radiating pulse sent outwards from the user which reacts to sources of Reiatsu within a certain proximity, allowing them to determine the location of any sensed individuals and granting them an indication of how powerful they actually are.

Indice Radar- Must know Pesquisa to learn this - 500, 250 creating the yellow trail, 250 making it lock onto someone.By thrusting his index finger into a grounded surface, Nnoitra Gilga can generate a luminous yellow trail which rapidly extends outwards in the direction of another individual's Reiatsu. Once connected to the desired target, he can use this to not only discern their general location, but also accurately gauge the amount of Reiryoku which said person possesses.

Descorrer - 1,100 WC to learnMeaning: Loosed VoidDescription: A technique used to open a Garganta between the living world and Hueco Mundo.

Sonido (瞬歩, Sound Ceremony) is the Hollow equal to Shunpo. However, there are variations even within Sonid0 which only master practitioners can use.- Must have 41 Speed to learn- 1,100 WC to learn- Can be reduced by 10% if taught by another RPer IC

Negación (反膜 (ネガシオン), Negashion; Spanish for "Negation", Japanese for "Counter-Membrane") is the beam used by Hollows to rescue their comrades. Only the Gillian Class have demonstrated the ability to use Negación. Negación are square beams which engulf the target in a towering beam of light which completely isolates them from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them from the outside of the impenetrable pillar. The field draws those within the interior towards the Menos which created it.- It is HOLLOWS ONLY for the confused this does not include any form of Arrancar.- Only for menos class, meaning you can't use it until you get to be a gillian.- Each hollow gets 1 USE in their entire RP lives. Meaning that one time you use it, it's done, until you restart.- Negacion CANNOT be used in Hueco Mundo or any Hueco Mundo stationed area (i.e Las Noches).- Other than that it can be used to reach anywhere, though the user must be in Hueco Mundo for it to be used.- When used the negacion can take up to 4 people away (even mid battle) at one time. Though that still counts as your 1 use, whether you take up 1 person or 4.- You cannot break out of or into an negacion.- You CANNOT use it to kidnap people. You can only take up people that you are aligned with, or if something like, a hollow knocked out a shinigami and holds then as they are taken up occurs.

Fraccion:-May ask an Espada to be a Fraccion in their service. Must be an Arrancar.

Prime Fraccion:-May ask an Espada to be their Prime Fraccion. Must be an Arrancar with at least 25k Reiatsu.-Prime Fraccion Bonus +5 to all Stats while holding this rank.

Espada:-Must be promoted by Lord of Hueco Mundo or PM a mod if there is not one. Must be an Arrancar with at least 45k Reiatsu.-Espada Bonus +10 to all Stats while holding this rank. Receive a one time 10k Reiatsu boost when attaining this rank.

Randomized Things:

Spoiler:

Dual Res, Soul Split

Spoiler:

This is the Hollow version equivalent to Dual Zanpakuto. The "Starrk Deal" aka splitting your soul in 2 upon arrancarization will now be associated with a randomizer similar to that for dual zanpakuto gain.- test can only be taken on Vasto Level- has a 10% success chance.

Segunda Etapa:

Spoiler:

Segunda Etapa (刀剣解放第二階層 (レスレクシオン・セグンダ・エターパ), resurekushion segunda etāpa; Spanish for "Resurrection: Second Stage", Japanese for "Sword's Release: Second Level") is literally the second stage of the Resurreccion that is even stronger version of the Resurreccion.- To even attempt to have a second resurreccion you must stay a hollow all the way up until you are a Vasto Lorde and if you pass the Arrancar test at this level, you can then roll for Segunda Etapa, with the varying percentages of success shown in the spoiler above.- Is a roll to obtain- Must post a 3,500 WC learning- Release unlocks 3 ability slots- Those with Segunda Etapa will be permitted to have three extra ability slots usable in this form only, on top of the basic abilities. 3,500 WC to obtain.- Resurreccion Release boost: +10,000 reiatsu and +10 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill. Stacks on top of your Resurreccion boost.

Regeneration:

Spoiler:

Notes: High Speed Regeneration as we see in the manga/anime is not fit for rp’ing purposes as it is unbalanced. As such separate guidelines have been set up to account for this in an attempt to make the skill more balanced

High Speed Regeneration: The ability of Hollow’s or vaizards to regenerate injuries at a rapid rate of speed. This ability is voluntary, as if they do not wish to heal the wounds the wounds themselves will not heal. For roleplaying purposes clear guidelines about how fast and what exactly can be healed must be outlined. This will outline all one should need to know about HighSpeed Regeneration.

What can it heal?

Spoiler:

On this forum, what can be healed will be limited. Damage to internal organs cannot be healed by high speed regeneration. As such shots to the heart, kidneys, brain etc that damage the user will remain damaged. Blood does not return, as such blood loss will affect those with the skill same as any other. Skin, appendages, broken bones, muscles even major wounds are all injuries however that can be healed via it’s use.

How fast can I heal?

Spoiler:

Different injuries will take a different amount of time to heal based upon severity. A conversation chart that can be viewed below has been set up for your convenience.

Healing will take stamina, causing somebody to feel tired and draining them of energy. Meaning if someone intends to let themselves become cut up simply cause they will heal, their character will become tired from the constant healing. Also take note that blood does not return via regen, so bloodloss still affects characters. You are also not immune to pain by any means.
